Static mixer SMB series

in-linefor liquidspolymer

StaMixCo manufacturers all three commercially proven static mixer designs used for high viscous melt flow mixing of polymers and foods in extrusion service. As with most process equipment, each static mixer design has specific advantages and disadvantages that make it more or less suitable for a specific application and installation. Each type of motionless mixer is discussed below: Process Improvements: Temperature gradients are virtually eliminated. Viscosity gradients are virtually eliminated. Composition gradients of colorant, chemical additives, fillers and regrind are virtually eliminated. Stagnant polymer wall-creep material is incorporated into the bulk polymer stream. Extrusion Applications Static Mixers are used in most extrusion applications including the following: Sheet Blown Film Foam sheet Profile extrusion Co-extrusion Pipe Extrusion Blow Molding Rod & Tubing Wire & Cable Coatings Cereals and other foods Fiber extrusion & monofilaments Benefits Reduction of color additives with comparable extrudate color density. Even thickness across the entire extrudate width. Streak-free product. Improved quality when using regrind material. Foam cell size and cell distribution uniformity. Improved surface quality. Improved mechanical characteristics. Rapid color change-over.
